7 days post op and my balls still hurt holy shit! I hope I can work come Monday Eek

At least we got a shit ton of snow fall so the trails would be impassable ATM anyhow. Timed it just right.

..but yeah, it is supposed to still hurt? Confused

Make sure to not do anything for the 2 weeks, otherwise your balls will swell and hurt. Not a great experience but worth it.

And I rode January 1st and the 6th, commuted to work 2x also but total each day is about 40min.

8 - not much riding lately, it's been -22 to -32 the entirety of last week. Much more bearable to run in those temps, less wind chill. Commuted today though.

@toddnzmtb. True story. Come March my bikes usually have dampers serviced, wheels trued and, when budget allows, a couple upgrades.

None of that has happened yet due to moving house in October and the at-home bike shop falling to the bottom of the priority list (guess what I'll be doing instead of riding this weekend).

Yeah, I am that guy who keeps riding until it is impossible to ride (or I have testicle surgery). Here on Vancouver Island that can almost be all year, occasionally we get enough snow to inhibit this. My bikes get thrashed all year long and get serviced regularly all through the year. My garage is a disaster... lol

Wish we could do the same here! Ski touring is fun but really doesn’t scratch the itch the same way as bikes.

Does mean that the bikes are fully rebuilt and ready to go when May rolls around though!

Are those kinda like hurricanes? No idea about them because I've spent almost my entire life in Florida.
